"I saw your nuts, Mommy"

Journal entries from a mom of 4 little boys & a grown daughter

  • Jan 4, 2016 - I'm not sure why I bother closing the bathroom door. Inevitably, one of the 4 ninjas in the next room opens it, walks across the bathroom, comes up behind me in the closet, and it's always, Always, ALWAYS when I'm in the process of pulling up my pants. I turn around still not knowing someone is there and jump out of my skin as I see Adrian standing there with a smirk on his face telling me, "I saw your nuts, Mommy."

Bed Time Delays

While putting the boys to bed last night after returning from my business trip, it was evident that each of them had lots of things saved up to talk to me about, so we ended up getting them to bed in later than planned.
I went to tuck in Javi, & he jumped back out of bed and said "Oh! Wait a second, Mommy!" He ran out of his room and down the hall to their bathroom. I heard spraying and then footsteps running back towards me followed by a waft of men's cologne." He jumped in bed and said, "Ok, I'm ready!" 
I tucked him in and told him, "Wow, you sure do smell good." He smiled big and said, "Thanks!" And then, "Mommy, if Daddy snores tonight can you come sleep with me?" I told him, "Sure."
Hugs. Kisses. I love you's. Goodnight.
I walked down the hall and into Dominic's room...
Dominic: "Mommy, how come when me and Javi were in your tummy you were going to call me Nic for short but you always call me Dominic?"
Me: "I don't know. We just always called you your whole name... we don't like 'Dom', and I guess you felt more like a Dominic than a Nic. Why?"
Dominic: "I like Dominic but Nic better." Can people start calling me that?"
Me: "Sure. If that's what you want."
Dominic: "Ok. From now on, I'm only answering if people call me Nic."
Me: "Sounds like a plan."
Hugs. Kisses. I love you's. Goodnight.
Walked down the hall...
Dominic: "MOMMMMYYYY?"
Walked back to his room...
Me: "Yessss?"
Dominic: "When babies are born, does it hurt when they cut the rope?"
Me: "Nope!"
Dominic: "How does it come off where it's attached to the mom?"
Me: "We will talk about it some other time... it's late and past our bedtime. Love you. Goodnight."
Walked down the hall...
Dominic: "MOMMMMYYYY?"
Walked back to his room...
Me: "Yes, Dominic?"
Dominic: "How many galaxies are there in the whole universe?"
Me: "You have a book about this. You can look it up tomorrow. Goodnight, Doodle."
Walked down the hall...
Dominic: "MOMMMYYY?"
Walked back to his room and heard him making a request of Alexa...
Me: "WHAT DO YOU NEED?"
Alexa: "I'd like a cheesesteak and some fries."
Dominic: *busts out laughing*
Me: "Goodnight. To both of you."
It's like I have an extra kid now or something... and she's usually back-talking.
